Trying to popularize a new term

Okay, so this is the stone called tiger’s-eye:

Pretty, huh? Most tiger’s-eye is golden-brown like this. But there is also blue tiger’s-eye:

Since the color blue is not really associated with tigers, blue tiger's-eye is often referred to as hawk's-eye. Because blue = sky = hawk, get it?

And then there is red tiger's-eye:

I think this variant deserves its own nickname as well. I've personally been calling it dragon's-eye, and I'm hoping I can get it to catch on.

Spread the word!

Starting off Self Insert Week 2016 with my SU Gemsona, Tiger’s-Eye! 

Tiger’s-Eye is one of the few gems that possesses animal features. When necessary, she shapeshifts into a tiger, and uses this form to fight. In this form, her bite is strong enough to damage gems, but not break them.

Magical/ritual lore: Roman soldiers wore tiger's-eye engraved with symbols for protection during battle. 

Magical uses: Tiger's-eye is a fine stone for promoting wealth and money. A simple money spell involves empowering several tiger's-eyes with your need for money. Use them to surround a green candle. Light the candle and visualize. 

They are also carried for protection against all forms of danger. A tiger's-eye cabochon set in gold is a fine protective ring or pendant. 

Ruled by the Sun and possessing a golden flash of light, tiger's-eye is worn to strengthen convictions and create courage and confidence.

This is a warm stone, and it promotes energy flow through the body when worn. It is also beneficial for the weak or sick.

Sit outside on a sunny day. Hold a tiger's-eye in your hands and gaze at the flashes of light. Still your conscious mind and look into the future. Or, use the stone as a tool to delve into past lives.
